musicMagpie: sell unwanted phones and tech after comparing the inspected cash offer
Get a model-and-condition quote for existing gadgets, with free shipping and a process for declining revised tech offers.
Shared by Ways2Earn
How it works
If you have an unused phone, tablet, console or other accepted gadget, musicMagpie provides an online quote based on its exact model and condition. Compare that figure with other trade-in services and realistic private-sale proceeds before deciding whether the convenience is worth it. This releases value from something you already own; it is not a recurring wage or a reason to buy second-hand stock hoping to resell it profitably.
Describe faults accurately, back up your files, remove personal accounts and activation locks, and follow the device-preparation and packing instructions before using the free sending service. Payment comes after arrival and assessment, not when the quote appears. For tech, a changed valuation is emailed with a 14-day response period: decline correctly within that window to have the device returned free. Ignoring the email can result in automatic acceptance of the lower price. Retain photographs and tracking, and allow for delays rather than relying on same-day-payment advertising as an unconditional deadline.

Has anyone had musicMagpie knock down the valuation after sending a phone in? Always wary of trade-in sites claiming 'micro-scratches' to slash the price

Happened to me once on an old iPad where they knocked £25 off, but you can reject the revised offer and they post it back to you for free. Take photos under bright light before posting.

Good shout taking photos beforehand, at least returns are free if they try lowballing the quote
